There is another thing that probably will be required, and I'm not sure
if something in front of Apache (like Squid) rather than behind it can
easily deal with: on timeout, the process needs to continue in order to
feed the cache.  Otherwise, you're still in a failure scenario as soon
as timeout happens.

I would think this would be a great deal easier to handle in an
arm's-length "accelerator" than in the origin server

True, but it needs to run behind Apache rather than in front of it.
