The "services" example included with asio does half of what you
want -- it uses a background thread to perform logging
operations asynchronously to the main thread. The missing
element in that example is posting the completion handler back
to the application.

You might also look at the implementation of the
resolver_service in asio/detail/resolver_service.hpp, since that
uses a background thread to emulate asynchronous hostname
resolution.

Cheers,
Chris
