Send old content if backend is down

[Klapproth, Martin]

Hello,

 

I have a general question relating to varnish's vcl configuration. I
want the varnish server to send old cached objects if the backend is
down (marked unhealthy). I have tested various grace configurations but
nothing worked, because grace takes only effect if the backend is slow,
but not if it's down. So is there a way (maybe in vcl_error)?

 

Thanks,

 

Martin
