What you are looking for is the ODBC-combined setup:

http://www.freetds.org/userguide/odbcombo.htm

Basically, you have to remove Server= from your odbc.ini and instead  
add Servername=, setting the latter to a freetds.conf entry's name as  
opposed to a host name.
Then your freetds.conf file will be read.
