How to create a site on Load Balancer server created using Forge?

I have a Load Balancer server created using Forge and I have 5 app servers behind that so requests are balanced between these 5 app servers.

My app allows the user to use their domain name so the approach I am taking is...

I ask the user to create an A Record and point their domain to my IP Address
Once the user has created the A Record, I manually create a site on the Load Balancer server and configure it to balancer load between all 5 app servers.
I then create and activate the SSL Cert created using LetsEncrypt

Now what I need to do is to automate last 2 steps.

I do not see any way to add a site to load balancer server in Forge APIs. Am I missing anything?

Also the SSL certs can be added using the API: https://forge.laravel.com/api-documentation#obtain-a-letsencrypt-certificate (assuming you will use LetsEncrypt)
