You mean your cache itself is in /home but /var is filling up?
Sounds more like your log files are not being rotated regularly. Or your
traffic load is too big for the storage you have available.

A lot of programs use /var, so it may be many things adding together to
cause the problem.

run: du -sh /var/*
Which will show you what parts of /var/ are the biggest space users and
then recurse down to see what inside them is wasting space.
