Go look in /var/log/daemon.log, and find out why the children are
dying. If you're getting SEGVs, that's going to be listed in your
syslog.
A big reason for crashing is running out of session workspace
(sess_workspace). Find out if that's happening, and if it is, increase
it. (say, to 512k)

Varnish seems to restart itself every so often, usually after a few

I don't currently have any logging turned on. If I did, would it
have any useful information for me?
We typically don't have more that 700k objects cached. I also never
see the worker threads go above 400. We are running on CentOS 5.

I don't think out load is all that heavy and we have a high hitrate
ratio. Our varnishstat output.
