The destination should be before the SNAT ... so try this:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.101.230 -d 
www.centos.org -j SNAT --to-source 1.2.3.4

Not that I can think of.  If these IP addresses were in a contiguous 
block, it might be able to be summarized by one or two subnet statements 
instead of individual rules for each.

Hope this helps.
