How to stop SYN_SENT?

Question

Running netstat is showing hundreds of this line, even after rebooting the server — it starts sending again, causing many connections to that IP.

tcp        0      1 server1700.skdedicate:36283 154.45.206.59:https   SYN_SENT
tcp        0      1 server1700.skdedicate:36283 154.45.206.59:https   SYN_SENT
tcp        0      1 server1700.skdedicate:36283 154.45.206.59:https   SYN_SENT

tcp        0      1 server1700.skdedicate:36283 154.45.206.59:https   SYN_SENT

I stopped all scripts, but it still keeps trying.

I know this means the IP is not responding to SYN_SENT but how can I stop those SYN_SENT? Or what is the best solution to this?

Thanks.
