I have seen this reported in the #openvz IRC channel a number of times over the years and almost always it was inside of a commercial datacenter. The cause of the problem seemed to be some upstream routing device that was periodically dropping ARP table entries for the containers. I'm not much of a networking person so forgive me for a lack of precision of language. Anyway, one workaround to fix it was to periodically (via cron or whatever) do an arpsend from the host (or maybe each container?) to keep the ARP entries refreshed. I don't remember the specifics of the arpsend method but in a pinch you can probably look at how vzctl (in the C source code) sets up a container's IP address... and mimic that. I'd like to hear more once you get it figured out.
