Perhaps a Godaddy-to-DNS terminology translation will help? The 
Godaddy word for "glue" is "domain hosts".  (Caveat: it has been in 
excess of a year since I have seen the Godaddy user interface. This
translation offer is void where taxed or prohibited, or if they made
changes in the meantime.)

Make a "domain host" entry for each of your NS hosts for which you 
need glue, that is, where the NS name is within the delegated 
namespace.

Create your zone on the to-be-delegated nameservers.  Test with 
directed dig commands to be sure it works:
	dig isnlab.in. any @your.ns.ip.addr
You should see an authoritative reply with the zone data you 
configured.  And yes, you definitely DO need your own SOA with a 
proper mname, rname, and updated (higher) serial.

Finally, point NS in the Godaddy domain panel to your new 
nameservers, and Bob's your uncle.

I have no idea about Godaddy's "premium DNS".  It probably means you 
gave them extra money that you should not have given, if you planned 
to be running your own nameservers.  I bet they won't refund it.
