Once you login, you get directed to "your" mailbox server, which still goes through the load balancer to act as a firewall, but not to do balancing. SOAP requests for a given user must always be sent to that user's mailbox server, unless you have the HTTP proxy set up, which is introduced in 5.0.5 but is still beta as of 5.0.6

Doesn't Zimbra come with it's own load-balancing, at least for IMAP
and HTTP? The admin manual seems to indicate that it does. The login
box directs the user's connection to their mailbox server, and then
the connection just goes to that server.
I didn't think you could put anything else in front of the mailbox servers.
