No,

At session-timeout there usually is no connection with the server,
and more often than not there is not even an active page of the session on
the browser.

You could set a clientside timeout, that redirects after say 20 minutes if
not reset by a page change, but that suffers from the above too.

A proper login procedure is redirecting any page request to a login page if
not in logged in or no more in session:
<%
if session("loginAccepted")<>"sure" then response.redirect "/login.asp"
%>
