Tom,

I recommend migrating to Shorewall-perl at the earliest opportunity.
Support for Shorewall-shell ends when Shorewall 4.4 is released toward
the end of this year.

There doesn't seem to be much information available about the module
other than what appears at the top of the source:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic SNMP Application Layer Gateway

This IP NAT module is intended for use with SNMP network
discovery and monitoring applications where target networks use
conflicting private address realms.

Static NAT is used to remap the networks from the view of the network
management system at the IP layer, and this module remaps some
application layer addresses to match.

The simplest form of ALG is performed, where only tagged IP addresses
are modified.  The module does not need to be MIB aware and only scans
messages at the ASN.1/BER level.

Currently, only SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 are supported.

More information on ALG and associated issues can be found in
RFC 2962
