re:
The IIS only clears out old sessions once a minute, so the sessions will live up to two minutes.

Have you tested that ? That is not true.

IIS has nothing to do with session length.
Session length is determined by ASP.NET.

And, invariably, if you set the timeout to 1 minute,
at one minute and 1 second after that time, a new session will start.

See my just-sent reply to Steven Cheng and test it yourself.
