It can be configured to do all three and more. The memory auxiliaries store data in memory.
The indexed disk cache stores the data on disk and the keys in memory. (There are other disk caches as well.) If you use the JDBC disk cache, you can have JCS act as a facade on top of a database, such as MySQL. That way, no data would have to live in the local JVM. What it sounds like you need is the remote cache. You can start a JCS remote cache server. You can talk to it via rmi or you can run an http remote server (a servlet in the servlet engine of your choice.) I recommend the RMI remote cache. You can have JCS keep some data on the client side, the most active data. Surely, not all million records are access as frequently. . . . . Read the docs and experiment. Ask away if you have any specific questions after consulting the documentation.
