Several TEXMF:s

I have made an fptex installation on a networked filesystem. Now I want to
cache some of the most frequently used files to the local disk. I figured
this might be the binaries, format files, and Type1-fonts.

So, I'd like to configure TeX to prefer files under C:/TEMP/TEX and
otherwise use J:/TEX which is the networked one. This is no problem for
TEXINPUTS but TEXMF doesn't seem to like to have several trees to choose
from. Is it possible to do this?

Where can I find documentation on the different environment variables used
in (fp)tex and how they can be used? Is my idea with caching at all sane?
(Our j: really slows down typesetting..)

Thanks
