I have zammad running behind haproxy but not for load balancing but as a simple proxy with SNI for routing decisions. What are you trying to accomplish?

That’s my working config. Keep in mind that the ssl certificate ist provided by the zammad vm and not haproxy:

global
        maxconn         5000
        ulimit-n        16384

        uid             99
        gid             99
        daemon
