Varnish uses the VM to differentiate between what's cached in memory and what is put on disk. If the VM doesn't have any other use for the memory it will give it to varnish. The problem is that you are running VM inside a box (the openvz container) which artificially limits the memory usage. If this was a sane VM it would probably page out a lot of Varnish cache and not run out. I guess this is a bug or a weakness of openvz, first and foremost. You could work around the problem by limiting the cache size. I don't think you will encounter the same problem with Xen or any other virtualization solution where you have a separate VM for your VPS. Per.
