Decrease the Timeout of only one request in a wcf service

Question

lets say i have a wcf service which has a one minute timeout for requests now how can i have one method which timeout for 5 secs instead of the global timeout ?

oh no that would break the whole logic since that method is made for checking the connectivity of its service , its like ping pong method : ) — Stacker, Oct 20 '11 at 12:06

Hasan Khan's popular comment is on the right track but I'd recommend you create two separate contracts (i.e. IServiceContractWithRegularTimeout and IPingPong) instead. A single service class would implement both interfaces and you would configure two endpoints for the service: one for IServiceContractWithRegularTimeout and one for IPingPong. This SO question and answer shows an example of how you could do this.
