Following the Azure VM cluster tutorial provided by Microsoft (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/terraform/create-vm-cluster-with-infrastructure),
I have a resource group created in Azure. Under the Resource group, I have created VN, subnets, etc.
Now, I have two VMs created in the resources group. Both of them have a LoadBalancer on top. I have added NAT rule to LB to connect to individual instance, while they both share the same frontend IP.

I have created a new resource Azure MSSQL server, in the Firewall rule of the SQL server, added the public ip of the LB to the Azure Server

I have now logged in to the individual VMs, and tried to access the SQL server from the VM, but I am unable to connect to it.
I tried normal ping <hostname>
it fails 133 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 295ms
Then I try telnet from IP address (ip address was received from ping ) and I get
Trying <ip_address>...
Connected to <ip_address>.
Escape character is '^]'.
When I try to connect using an application, I get this error
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Connection reset ClientConnectionId:8b2f0e3b
