Varnish and time out on backend (first_byte_timeout).

[Mickaël GERVAIS]

Hi 

I've configured my back end as follow: 

.host = "xxxxxxxxxx";
.port = "80";
.connect_timeout = 1s;
.first_byte_timeout = 10s;
.between_bytes_timeout = 2s; 

If a timeout occurs (first_byte_timeout reached) the function vcl_error is
called, I'd like to use the saint mode to retreive the response from the
cache, but saint mode is only avaliable on beresp. 

Is there a way to tell varnish use a dirty object from the cache? Maybe is
not the correct way to handle this kind of error. 

Thanks.
