This is a horrible reason to enable serve-stale. Serve stale is a bandaid. You 
should increase a resiliency of the architecture - have more nameservers for 
the domain, make the restarts seamless, etc.

Serve-stale was meant to deal with unexpected outages and not as a workaround 
for bad engineering in the first place.
