Interesting...What does this line of the TDSDUMP file specify?  That's
where I can see TDS submitting that info to the server.

That's right, I remember now.  It's also a footnote in the freetds.conf 
section of the UG.  That much is documented.

Maybe.  I just spent a little while looking for where we pick up the 
servername and send it to the server (as app_name or the database name).

I didn't find it.  I would be nice to rid FreeTDS of this particular
quirk 
if we can.
