  Why do you need two rules here? Redirecting incoming UDP packets to a 
single IP:port has nothing to do with POSTROUTING, it's a single rule on 
PREROUTING.

  Try monitoring /proc/net/stat/ip_conntrack. I guess the number you find 
in the insert_failed column will match the number of dropped packets.
