Yes, .61 is the secondary/slave.

The glue record is there now-->  Readded it.

>I get the same thing, albeit from the NS servers you mentioned.

I think this will now be different with the changes Barry suggested.  They
are different for me.  However I still cannot access the web address
http://0000025.preview.web-hosters.com/?  

Also, all along I have been concerned with the fact that they say they
(hostingplatform.com) do not need to run NS records for the zones under
*.preview.web-hosters.com.  And, this ends in a loop of nowhere when you NS
query it.
