Split DNS
Hello our internal and external domain are the same. Mycompany.org. We are using a hosted service that allows us to use our own external domain by using a Public DNS to redirect. The site is service.mycompany.org. We can access this site from outside our network, but not from withing the company network as their is no internal DNS record. Users will need to access this public hosted site for services. Will setting up split DNS be a good solution? And if so, how would we setup this up?

Otherwise you have a problem. in DNS there is one (set of) serververs that has Authority (they are named in NS records) and there is a SOA record for a domain. There are no other servers then these set of servers. And EVERY question you ask them is meant to be the same to whatever one of the servers of the set you ask for.
A valid solution can be: make your internal domain a subdomain of the external domain.
intern.mycompany.org or make it mycompany.local (which can help with mulicast DNS).
Using a domain name on different places with different meanings is against what a domain is meant to be.
You should not publish private addresses on a public server so merging the servers is not an option.
