I don't think you have a FreeTDS problem, and are therefore unlikely to
find much help on this list. :-(  FreeTDS makes connections when
requested.  You want to know who's doing the requesting, and why.  

If you want a suggestion, I'd analyze the traffic.  Find out which
machines are forming those extra 800 sessions; see what SQL they're
sending.  Microsoft's Profiler is your friend.
