[squid-users] Ignoring certain status codes/content inspection?

Recently, one of our accelerated machines started throwing out errors, and
it got me thinking.
Would it be possible to have Squid not cache objects based on a status code
(for instance 500/Internal server error, 403 forbidden etc)?

This would be something along the lines of content-inspection, so a quick
take of the flow that would happen would be:
1: Client connects to Squid and requests www.normally.cacheable/object
2: Squid notices that the object is stale and attempts to retrieve a fresh
copy from the origin server
3: Origin server returns Status: 500 in the headers, and Squid defaults to
serving up the stale object instead of the fresh (but broken) object

Any ideas, finger-pointing or such would be greatly appreciated
