You won't be able to do either of those things. IIS will recycle the app pool and expire sessions when it needs to based on various factors. Setting a session timeout value isn't going to guarantee the session will last that long. Think about it...you have a 6 hour session time and your site gets 100 new visitors a minute, how is the server going to manage all those sessions? Resources are finite.

Rather than trying to do the impossible you should concentrate on architecting a solution that doesn't need 6 hour sessions etc.

For Session Timeout in Web.config:

     <sessionState timeout="360"></sessionState>
  </system.web>
</configuration>
