Oh this old chestnut :) What you are doing is correct, but the timeout can not be enforced by ColdFusion until AFTER the external net connection has completed.
I realise I'm not describing it very well. Basically it's an inherrent problem with the java class that handles http connections. ColdFusion can not respond until the network connection 'gives back'. It can also occur with CFHTTP and others. If your service is genuninely 'hung' and gives nothing back, that connection will remain open for a long time. Not even FusionReactor can kill it :) (I'm guessing the 60 second time out you are experiencing is on the web service itself).
