[Opensymphony-oscache] Running OSCache as an "out-of-process" cache

I'm evaluating OSCache for possible use in our product, and I would like some clarification.

Our web app will be running across several WebLogic instances.  One of our options for caching (at a high-level) is to have a separate caching server that each WebLogic communicates with.  That way, every WebLogic would have access to the same cache data.

The way I understand the docs, OSCache doesn't quite fit this model.  First, it's more of an in-process caching solution, where there's no caching server to start; it starts and stops with WebLogic.  And second, we could place OSCache in each WebLogic and cluster them together, but the clustering built into OSCache only synchronizes flushes, not puts/updates.

Am I correct in this, or am I missing a different mode of operation that's possible here?  Thanks for any help provided.
