Yes indeed, otherwise you cannot connect anymore from the local ports to the servers. What OS are you running on ? At least on Linux we can disable the TCP quick-ack which allows us to close the connection before the connection's ACK is sent, and it's clean because the server sees SYN, SYN-ACK, RST and doesn't even create a socket nor notifies the application.
