Sounds like you're interested in stale-while-revalidate [1].  It does not 
appear to be supported in ATS, but is implemented in Squid [2] and works quite 
well.

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to get ATS on stale hit to serve from cache and refresh the 
cache in the background?

The use case is when we are experiencing issues with the origin server I would 
like to serve stale content (compared to nothing) and then get ats to refresh 
it in the background instead of holding traffic up.

Thanks

Mav
