I am a hosting provider. I've got DNS installed on a windows 2000 server.
Each domain extension has its own Primary Zone eq:

NL - Zone

----- Test

----------WWW

-----Example

----------WWW

Com - Zone

----- Test

----------WWW

-----Example

----------WWW

etc.

This is also the structure microsoft advises for a secondary DNS server.
This because there are only a few DNS Zone Replications to be synchronized.

When i try to connect to internet, all clients/servers connect to the Local
Dns Server. De local Dns Server should forward the DNS request when it's not
possible to resolve de dns request locally. But when i try to resolve
NotMyDomain.NL it doesnt forward it anymore because the zone NL exist
locally.

Does anyone have a solution or do i have to make a different zone for each
of the domains i am hosting (approximitly 1000??)

Well, you can do it this way. But as you found this makes DNS think it is
authoritative for the entire TLD structure.
You can still do it this way, but you have to delegated all top level
domains and use stub zones that Win2k does not support.
Windows Server 2003 supports stub zones, you are kind of stuck with creating
individual zones for each domain you host. You can also use the method you
want if there are no machines using this DNS server as a DNS resolver. What
I mean by this is use it only for authoritative answers.
