Inrelavent.
The version of BIND that washington.apic.net is running has a few extra options. :-)
Namely:
key <key-name> {
    algorithm hmac-md5;
    secret "<key-string from key file>";
};

server <IP of other server> {
    transfer-format many-answers;
    keys { <key-name>; };
};

Or, something very similar.
Read RFC 2535 (DNSSEC) for more details.
