Comment(by mtdewvirus):

 What about caching the feed items twice? Once with a long cache expiration
 and once with the current expiration. If the current cache expires and the
 feed isn't available, repopulate from the long expiration cache and set a
 shorter expiration to check if the feed is back up. If the feed is
 available, update both caches. This way, a visitor doesn't need to see an
 error and will still see content.
