It should revalidate after expiry. Only getting a full copy of the server insists on sending one in response to the revalidate. Older Squid used to keep revalidating per-request, I'm not sure if that got fixed yet. But that is still better than another huge download in this case. Worst case you can download a local copy and redirect to it. Like a self-made WSUS.
