I don't know why you ever bothered to involve verisign - that
seems to be an error.

Why don't you use one of the good registries in germany 


BTW your current set of ns for xtremeweb.de is :
xtremeweb.de.           86400   IN      NS      ns2.xtremeweb.de.
xtremeweb.de.           86400   IN      NS      ns1.granitecanyon.com.
xtremeweb.de.           86400   IN      NS      ns1.xtremeweb.de.

however ns1.granitecanyon.com. is not refreshing itself correctly,
it might be left trying to refresh from your old master.
