How do we protect the IP address being displayed on a whois query?

I am able to protect the contact details provided to domain registrant but the IP of the linode server keeps getting displayed

If you're expecting to use the domain name for something other than a tax write-off, it will somehow need to be associated with at least one IP address. Such IP addresses are, necessarily, public information. If a computer can look it up, a human can look it up too.

Can you show an example of what you're seeing?

I don't see an ip address on a whois (just a trace route and ping and dig, etc.), but I suppose the only way to mask would be a proxy.
I actually use CloudFlare- http://www.cloudflare.com/ for a couple of my sites, and Cloudflare's ip addresses show up on queries for http://bryantrv.com .

CloudFlare IPs would show in digs or nslookups, like mentioned. I do just need to advise that we do need to release the IP address to a party if a valid complaint is received (DMCA, for example). Other than that, our IPs would show for domains and subdomains we're proxying.
