Our CIO wants our users to be logged in to our web app for 12 hours at a time regardless of activity. That means I have to allow someone to log in, walk away for their computer for 11 hours and 59 minutes, and then click on something and still be logged in (for another 12). Our load balancer REFUSES to keep a sticky connection for longer than 60 minutes for reasons no one has been able to explain to me yet. That causes a problem when people bounce to a different server after only an hour of inactivity, because our sessions are not shared between our production servers. This logs them out prematurely.

Are you saying your session time out in CF is higher then 60 minutes?
