How to add multiple client IP addresses at time in Azure SQL Server using Azure ARM Templates?

Question

Currently I am working on to deploy the Azure SQL Database by adding multiple IP addresses under Firewall rules using Azure ARM templates.

This is the code for adding one IP address under Firewall settings of Azure SQL Server.

{
      "name": "AllowAllMicrosoftAzureIps",
      "type": "firewallrules",
      "apiVersion": "2014-04-01",
      "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
      "properties": {
        "startIpAddress": "[parameters('startIpAddress')]",
        "endIpAddress": "[parameters('endIpAddress')]"
      },
      "dependsOn": [
        "[variables('sqlServerName')]"
      ]
    },

But I want to add the multiple IP addresses at a time under Firewall settings of Azure SQL Database using Azure ARM templates.

I haven't tested it, but I believe it would look something like this. Use the copy iterator and supply an array of start and end IP addresses.

"parameters": { 
    "firewallIpAddresses": { 
        "type": "object", 
        "defaultValue": [ 
            { "start": "1.1.1.0", "end": "1.1.1.10","clientName": "Client1" },
            { "start": "1.2.3.4", "end": "1.2.3.16","clientName": "Client2" },
            { "start": "1.2.0.1", "end": "1.2.0.20","clientName": "Client3" }
        ] 
    }
},
"resources": [
{
     "name": "[concat(variables('sqlServerName'), '/', parameters('firewallIpAddresses')[copyIndex()].clientName)]",
     "type": "Microsoft.Sql/servers/firewallrules",
     "apiVersion": "2014-04-01",
     "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
     "properties": {
        "startIpAddress": "[parameters('firewallIpAddresses')[copyIndex('firewallrulecopy')].start]",
        "endIpAddress": "[parameters('firewallIpAddresses')[copyIndex('firewallrulecopy')].end]"
     },
     "dependsOn": [
        "[variables('sqlServerName')]"
    ],
    "copy": {
        "name": "firewallrulecopy",
        "count": "[length(parameters('firewallIpAddresses'))]"
    }
}
]
