[squid-users] Possible to Continue Serving Expired Objects When Source Becomes Unavailable?

Is it possible to configure Squid so that if an object becomes stale
and the server tries to fetch a current copy of the object, but the
object/server is unavailable, it will continue serving the cached
version?

If so, what other control can be used in this case? Say you want to
allow it to run an hour over expiration before purging it. Or you
wanted to set how often to retry the source server.

This question is specifically for 2.6, but it would be great to know
if things have changed with newer versions.

Thanks.
