Yes, you have to reconnect any connected TCP sockets since they have no
defined atomicity semantics when they're shared across processes/threads.

Ruby Mutexes aren't useful at all here, they're only useful with threads
in the same process.  If you need to protect TCP client sockets from
multiple processes, you'll need SysV/POSIX semaphores or file locks
(flock/fcntl), but you're really better off using multiple TCP client
sockets in the first place.
