Hi,

I'm not sure how to do what you wrote above, but what I know, is that
what Octavia recommends isn't enough. For very busy sites, I would
recommend 4GB of RAM, and I would strongly recommend having logrotate to
rotate the logs every hours, plus not keep too many logs. I've done that
because otherwise, we saw failures in the Amphora (no remaining HDD
space, etc.). Though, in such setup, 4GB of HDD space is enough (instead
of 2GB, which is what was recommended). You're pushing the limit to
20GB, that's really too much.

I hope this helps,
Cheers,
