Description
## Describe the solution you'd like
Because outbound rules can only associate a single backend pool to a single front end IP address, in the situation where an external load balancer has multiple backend pools, we are not able to create a generic outbound rule that applies to all backend pool members. Currently, the module issues a warning and instructs user to manually configure outbound rules post migration.
Potential solutions:
- Distribute outbound rule allocated outbound ports across each backend pool (creating an outbound rule for each backend pool)
- Allow user to create a new backend pool with the members from all of the LB's original backend pools; create an outbound rule associating this backend pool to the first front end IP
- Allow user to map existing backend pools to front end IPs
## Describe alternatives you've considered
Current state warns user to create outbound rules post migration.
## Additional context
See #10

Research direction
Review issue #10 and the current migration path that emits the warning about manually configuring outbound rules. Clarify which proposed backend-pool and frontend-IP behavior should be implemented, then verify that migration creates appropriate outbound rules for multiple backend pools instead of requiring post-migration configuration.
