Thanks, but we have already added a similar directive in squid-3.

NAME: minimum_expiry_time
COMMENT: (seconds)
TYPE: time_t
LOC: Config.minimum_expiry_time
DEFAULT: 60 seconds
DOC_START
        The minimum caching time according to (Expires - Date)
        Headers Squid honors if the object can't be revalidated
        defaults to 60 seconds. In reverse proxy enorinments it
        might be desirable to honor shorter object lifetimes. It
        is most likely better to make your server return a
        meaningful Last-Modified header however. In ESI environments
        where page fragments often have short lifetimes, this will
        often be best set to 0.
