Yes.

Yes.

I've also enabled proxy_arp and ip forwarding to test, but it did not 
help.

I've never tried OpenVZ, but apparently at Hetzner, you have to add the 
following to its config: "NEIGHBOUR_DEVS=all": "Controls on which 
interfaces to add/remove ARP records for a VE IP, also which interfaces 
to use to query/announce ARP. If this is set to detect, the right 
network interface (the one which is in the same subnet as a VE IP) will 
be chosen automatically. Any other value restores old (as of vzctl 
3.0.19 or older) behavior, when all the possible interfaces were used."
