If you do not have a reverse DNS, the code in freetds will break
(gethostbyaddr() rely on reverse DNS).
Try to add this address with a machine name in your /etc/hosts (or  
NIS, NetInfo etc...)
and replace 10.0.0.1 by the name in /etc/hosts in your interface.
/etc/host:
10.0.0.1        mymssqlserver

interface file:
bgmsmssql1
         query tcp tds5.0 mymssqlserver 1433
        master tcp tds5.0 mymssqlserver 1433

Hope that helps.

Fabien.

P.S. I will try to issue a patch for this in the next week.
