ive been getting a few support tickets from my resellers saying how they can mask there account so at the end they wont find out that they are a reseller of me. i mean like changing things so that if you do whois search it wont show up the network address of me. which would give them away. ive toldf them to use whoisguard for the domains but what else is there to stop this?

WHOISGuard wont do anything.

Ask them to setup their own DNS servers (ns1.theirdomain.com and ns2.theirdomain.com) with your DNS IPs.

Other then that the location of the IP wont change.

There is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent someone from finding out where a domain is hosted.

You can provide anonymous name server, basically a domain name used as name server with protected or no traceable whois contact info.

You can still find out where its hosted, which would give away the fact that its a reseller acct.

If you use the server domain (ie. Nameservers, Hostname, etc) as one that has WHOISGUARD on it, then how would people know that, that particular host is a reseller?

All they can do is lookup IP WHOIS, and that will show which DC it is hosted in (eg. LayeredTech), but tonnes of webhosts who are not resellers lease servers from LayeredTech, so they wouldn't know if they were a reseller or not by looking up IPWHOIS, because I believe you need to own a whole /24 block of IP addresses in most DCs to get your own WHOIS contacts published on IPWHOIS.

Correct me if I'm wrong please.

you can ask your host to do ip reverse for your domain name. but people still can see where you host it

Yes, basically you are making it hard to find. A good webmaster can easily find real hosting provider with some efforts.

Resellers are possible to hide where they're hosting at. But only find out who is their main hosting eg. DataCenter. I can easily find out who's real hosting, keep looking up the DNS stuff ;)

Swizi is right. Just tell your reseller to create their own DNS nameservers to point your IP addresses.
