192.168.3.142 is reached using the default gateway. So unless you use your 
distribution's IP configuration tools to create a specific route to that host 
via the default gateway, then NULL_ROUTE_RFC1918=Yes will drop packets to/from 
that host.

Erik, you can't have it both ways. You know that 192.168.3.142 is an RFC 1918 
host that is of interest to you, but nothing in the configuration reflects that 
knowledge (or you can add an entry to /etc/shorewall/routes). On the other 
hand, there is a route to 10.0.0.0/24, so that network is exempted from being 
excluded by NULL_ROUTE_RFC1918=Yes.
