web config change and IIS restart

[Guest]

I changed the session timeout value in web.config file, but the changes were
not applied
to the new sessions until I restarted IIS.

Is this normal ?


Thanks.

I expected that the new user session will use the new value immediatelly.
P.S.

Typically when you save the web.config and changes are detected by IIS it
will cause a application restart without any effort. However I don't know
what the time to do that is. Our servers here instantly detect the changes
and restart.
