You create "www.example.com CNAME www.lb.example.com" and leave it 
alone, forever

You then update "www.lb.example.com" to add and remove IP addresses as 
servers come online and offline, respectively.

You don't monitor the hostname - that would be idiotic. You monitor the 
backend webservers directly, and put the working server IPs into 
www.lb.example.com.
