I want my VServer to not be able to choke my real server by using up
all the RAM, so I set an RSS limitation.  As you can see, it's not
working very well:

PROC:           72             142              -1           0
VM:         104883          223551              -1           0
VML:             0               0              -1           0
RSS:         56597          131072          131072         356

The problem I'm having is that instead of swapping things out,
processes simply get killed, even when there's lots of swap left.

So, I'm wondering:

What do RSS and AS actually *mean* when applied to the whole
VServer?

Is fork_rss on be default?  If so, how do I turn it off?

How do I limit RAM usage on the VServer *and* let it use up swap
before it starts killing things?

Thanks!
