8 GB RAM divided by 800 DB connections is 10 MB per connection.  You
seriously need to find some way to use connection pooling.  I'm not
sure the best way to do that with 240 active databases.
  

By wrangling the applications, We've got the number of connections down to 530 and number of active databases down to 186.

The application's poor connection management exacerbates the problem.

Thanks for the idea,
