Using UFW and need to add a few custom iptables commands [SOLVED]

I would like to add the following iptables lines to UFW so I don't have to use an external script to call them but am unclear how to do it:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.200:53
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.200:80

It seems UFW has some files (/etc/ufw/before.rules) for this purpose but I am unclear on the syntax for this specific example.  Thanks!

man ufw-framework has an examples section that describes the syntax for the .rules files. You can also read the rules files that ship with ufw in /etc/ufw/

The rules that you want to translate will work almost as is.

Thanks for the tip for that man page... got exactly what I wanted:

/etc/ufw/before.rules
...
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.200:53
-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.200:80
COMMIT
