+Serve stale
+===========
+
+Demo module that allows using timed-out records in case kresd is
+unable to contact upstream servers.
+
+By default it allows stale-ness by up to one day,
+after roughly four seconds trying to contact the servers.
+It's quite configurable/flexible; see the beginning of the module source for details.
+See also the RFC draft_ (not fully followed) and :any:`cache.ns_tout`.
