Your problem is with the delegation from "ca" .

Asking one of the "ca" TLD :
> dig madisonave.ca ns @192.73.5.1

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> madisonave.ca ns @192.73.5.1
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      madisonave.ca, type = NS, class = IN

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
madisonave.ca.          1D IN NS        ns1.alteeve.com.
madisonave.ca.          1D IN NS        ns2.alteeve.com.

Thus the zone "madisonave.ca." is delegated to ns[12].alteeve.com.

But there is no ip mentioned in the zone for alteeve.com.  :
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> ns2.alteeve.com.
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 2
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      ns2.alteeve.com, type = A, class = IN

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
alteeve.com.            27m4s IN SOA    interbuild.net. hostmaster.interbuild.net. (
                                        2001081905      ; serial
                                        30M             ; refresh
                                        5M              ; retry
                                        30M             ; expiry
                                        30M )           ; minimum

Note the NXDOMAIN above. Same goes with ns1
