4 Seems the most logical from all the possible answers...Although that describes a Firewall/Proxy appliance...

Forget that I re-read it said network not host so that description is sufficent for a firewall ;)

seems like everyone is on answer 4, yes the answer is 4, that one was a bit easy.

Explaination: The main purpose of a firewall is to protect a private network from a public network (such as the internet).

A - Although this can be a function of few firewalls, this is more of the responsibility of the gateway.
B - This describes the function of a proxy (or proxy cache) server.
C - This describes the primary function of a DNS.
