Find the IP of SERVER1. try going

nslookup server1

for a command prompt on one of the windows machine.
Also, look in the network properties for TCP/IP on one of the windows
machines. See if there's an IP address there for the DNS server, and if so,
put a line like:

nameserver ip.of.DNS.server

in /etc/resolv.conf on the linux machine.
