Zimbra has a special account for GAL (Global Address List).  Search for 'gal' in all users list after logging in at :7071 as admin to see current Zimbra server gal account.  You can use "view mail" for gal and go to gal accounts contact to see _InternalGAL address book.
   
To enable externalGAL for a particular domain use following steps:
# Login as Zimbra admin
# Go to COnfigure -> Domains 
# Right click on domain name and choose "COnfigure GAL"
# Change "GAL mode" to "Both"
# Leave most things blank or default
# Server type should be LDAP
# Use ldap://<external-server-ip>:389 with SSL as LDAP URL
# LDAP filter should be "(&(mail=*)(zimbraAccountStatus=active)(!(zimbraHideInGAL=TRUE)))"
# Autocomplete filter should be "(|(cn=%s*)(sn=%s*)(gn=%s*)(mail=%s*))"
# LDAP search base should be "dc=<domain>,dc=<com>"
# Click next.
# Enable "Use DN/Password to bind to external server" option
# For Zimbra server as external GAL source, Bind DN should be uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra
# For Other zimbra server LDAP password use following commands as zimbra user on other server
## source bin/zmshutil; zmsetvars
## set | grep 'zimbra_ldap'
# Use displayed zimbra_ldap_password value in the "Configure GAL" configuration wizard as password
# Leave "Use GAL search settings for GAL sync" enabled and click next.
# Type random string in search term (eg john) and click next.  Note that search results would not be related to search string.
# Optionally run "Sync Test" which should be successful.
# Click "Finish" to complete configuration
