[Users] usage of swap on host server

does openvz can use the swap partition on the host server for the VE inside it? because i have 2GB RAM and 2GB swap on the host server, then setup 2 VE with 1GB guaranteed RAM and 1.5GB burstable RAM for each VE.

it seems that if the 2 VE burst the RAM usage more than 2GB in total, the host didn't use its swap partition to accommodate the burst need as I check the swap partition is always show 0

is it true that i can't use the host swap as RAM for VE? in other word 2GB RAM + 2GB swap != 4GB memory can be allocated for VEs?
 
Best Regards,
Markus
