That's a private IP address. Change it to a public name server such as one
of the below:

199.166.24.253 (PS0.NS3.VRX.NET) - Toronto, ON, Canada
199.166.27.4 (PS0.NS6.VRX.NET) - Richmond Hill, ON, Canada
199.166.28.10 (PS0.NS2.VRX.NET) - Apopka, Fl
199.166.29.3 (nl.public.baseservers.net) - Nederlands
199.166.31.3 (NS1.QUASAR.NET) - Orlando, FL, USA
195.117.6.25 (ZOLIBORZ.ELEKTRON.PL) - Poland
204.57.55.100 (NS1.JERKY.NET) - Boston, MA, USA
213.196.2.97 (PAN.BIJT.NET) - The Netherlands

you can drop the "search redhat.com" line too. Or replace redhat.com with
your domain name.
