Well, the primary question in this situation is why you use asio? The
main asio advantage is proactor-oriented design, which allows you make
simple and scalable application, without locking and explicit
multithreading.
If the whole design of your application is around multithreading and
sync. i/o, and it's not supposed to be portable -- I'm afraid you'd be
better off with simple plain sockets.

Yes, you can close() the socket on your side, or just destroy it -
depending on the design of your program.
