help. It is suggested not to put zil on a device external to the disks in the pool unless you mirror the zil device. This is suggested to prevent data loss if the zil device dies.
The reason why it is suggested that the intent log reside in the same chassis where the pool disks live is so that it is easier to move the pool to a different computer if need be. This is an independent problem from mirroring. If the intent log device is easily moved to the new computer, then there is not really a problem.
