You could be lucky, but I don't know if that can be made to work. You can
use TDSDUMP and TDSDUMPCONFIG to see if your connection is going to the
right place.

I have to say I'm mystified why anyone would do that. DNS was invented to
make remembering IP addressed unnecessary. freetds.conf was devised to
assign a name to the collection of properties the library needs to know
about the server. You're abandoning all that, but then hoping automatic
port negotiation will work? Whatever for, man?
