Looking at the new demo "standard" in CVS shows me the following 
catalog.cfg directives:

Database   ups_cache        ship/ups_cache.txt         __SQLDSN__
Database   ups_cache        AUTO_SEQUENCE  ups_cache_seq
Database   ups_cache        DEFAULT_TYPE varchar(12)
Database   ups_cache        INDEX  weight origin zip shipmode country

Caching is part of the ups_query usertag since May 2003.
