At a guess here: were both zones added to named.conf at the same time?
Since the registration for inter-varsity.ca and intervarsity.ca was done
today, and the NS records have not yet been added to the .ca zone, if
your master was not reconfig'd or restarted after the inter-varsity.ca
zone was added to named.conf, it will misinterpret the SOA query for
inter-varsity.ca and refuse it if, as I suspect, you have a more
restrictive allow-query{} statment in your options{} block.

If they were added at the same time, was there anything about
inter-varsity.ca in your logs when you reconfig'd? If the zone was
rejected at load time, I suspect the same sort of error will manifest
itself.
