To prevent brute-force in a multi-server scenario the cache/tokens should be store in some external storage, do you support this?

No, this project is intended to be a pure JS implementation with no dependencies or (built-in) interfaces to backing data stores. If you are looking for an all-in-one solution that coordinates across distributed systems, take a look at https://github.com/Tabcorp/redis-rate-limiter
