Getting Squid to serve stale objects if the connection to the web servers fails

Is it possible to get Squid to serve stale objects if the connection to
the web servers fails?

We are using squid as a web accelerator and this behaviour would be
very useful, so that the squids could continue to present (outdated)
content to requests if the web servers disappeared.
