rwhois delegation impact

[Kyle Sexton]

William,

There is a good chance I'm confusing many things. :)  I've never
before setup an rwhois server, so I guess I'm not really sure what the
implications of the delegation are.  I've been trying to follow a
number of guides but pretty much used this one:

http://www.unixadmin.cc/rwhois/rwhois-ip-howto.html

I've gotten all the way through it without any major issues, but am
worried that a small configuration problem may lead to problems.  Does
rwhois not affect the routing of traffic at all?

Thanks,
Kyle
