If you are in the DNS console and you cannot simply find an A (host) record by sorting by type then the record is probably not there. The easiest way to see if an A Record exists is using PING.<br />
<br />
Ping the A (host) record and it your DNS server cannot find it using the name try typing in the full fqdn server1.domain.com. If that does not work then the record is not in the zone. <br />
