It is what it does by default. If Squid fails to revalidate a cached
object then the old copy will be sent to the client.

However, this only applies to squid-initiated revalidations, and not
when the user presses reload or on cache misses or where the object
cannot be revalidated.

Se also offline_mode in squid.conf.
