Wanted to provide some follow up on this issue. Was able to bring the active connections down by tweaking the tcp profile used by this VIP. Created a new tcp profile "tcp_timeout" and lowered the idle timeout to 120 seconds, from the default of 300. After applying this profile, my active connections dropped from around 120K to about 30K. I noticed TMM memory usage also dropped from 400M to 200M which is a good thing, too.
Probably need to do further investigation as to why so many idle connections were hanging around, but at least I've reduced impact on my LTM without affecting the application.
