Tell postfix to disconnect from policy server?

I'm using a custom policy server (communicating over an inet socket)
to manage some funky redirects. When the policy server needs to be
restarted, it sometimes fails with "Address already in use".
According to this document, the best way to avoid that is to reques
that the client close its connection first:

According to the policy server documentation, the only command the
server can send to the client is "action=<blah>". Is there a way to
request that Postfix disconnect before shutting down the policy
server?

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
