This pull request updates the Azure Load Balancer documentation to clarify outbound connection behavior when a VM is part of multiple backend pools with different outbound rules and frontend IP configurations.

Documentation clarification:

  • Added a note explaining that if a VM belongs to more than one backend pool with different outbound rules and frontend IPs, outbound connections will use the pool the VM was added to first. This can result in VMs in the same backend pools having different outbound IPs based on the order of pool addition.…und rules where a VM is added to more than one backend pool.
