Ah, I was under the impression that varnish would evict items from the cache if 
memory usage hit the ceiling. Thanks for the help, I look into our 
configuration and see if there's anything we can do.

Thanks,
Connor

Hi,

We've recently been having problems with varnish being killed with out of 
memory problems, our logs show information like this:

This is not a bug in Varnish. It is most probably a misconfiguration. You 
either have to little memory in your system or you are asking Varnish to use 
too much. I'm guessing you are using -s malloc. Remember that there is a 1k 
overhead on each object stored in Varnish.


(..)

Now, we've been planning from Varnish 2.1.5 to 3.0 for a while, and we're 
hoping that this will solve our issues, but I just want to check if there are 
known OOM issues in 2.1.5, or is the problem likely to persist after upgrading 
to 3.0?

It will probably persist.
