Better, try to log the packets and see whether the translation happened 
or not. Add the following rule,

     iptables -I INPUT -d a.b.c.d -j LOG --log-prefix "[netfilter] "

Then ping 192.168.100.11 from another node. Now the log 
(/var/log/messages or other custom log file) should have the 
corresponding entries, if the translation happened properly. I just 
tested now.
