What is the best way to handle a situation where you want a socket to send a "heartbeat" every ten minutes?  I was thinking it would be simple to have a single thread do all the "heartbeat" sending.

However, that means there could be multiple threads writing to one socket.  Do I need to do anything special to have multiple threads writing to one socket?  Is there a better way?

Thanks.
