www#.domain.com setup?

I tried searching the forum and found bits of information here and there, but none that seems to answer what I need.

The current host I'm with occasional goes down (but not recently and only for 15-30mins around the same time when it does go down).

I like to setup subdomains such as www1.domain.com, www2.domain.com, etc.

However, I like to point those to another host so that if my host ever goes down, it would either

1) redirect to the www1 host

or

2) my clients can goto www1 host to check the status on the main host.

so I would assume that it's not creating the subdomains in cPanel, but rather something else (maybe to the DNS/domain registrar?) to make it happen?

if all else fails, I guess I can always register a generic domain and host on another server.

thanks in advance.
