Assuming the zone is mycompany.com, add another A record like this:

mycompany.com. 12345 IN A 1.2.3.4

where 12345 is the TTL you want, and 1.2.3.4 is the address of your web
server. Then (optionally) remove the other A record and make it an alias
(CNAME), so that if your webserver address changes, you only have to
update one A record:

www 12345 IN CNAME mycompany.com.

Regards, K.
