jythonbook.com redirects to http://jythonpodcast.hostjava.net/jythonbook/index.html which results in a 404.

Normally this works. But we've been having repeated problem with DOS attacks on these Jython sites. So it needs to be fixed.

We may want to consider moving the podcast and book so that it's under jython.org, which has more hardening. My only concern is that we have had difficulty in the responsiveness of the administration of that site, but it's probably just a matter of having better communication.

Regardless we need a solution soon. Let's set a goal of no later than 2.5.2 final.

I am going to try and get these sites moved under jython.org if possible.  Managing these sites under the current host is becoming increasingly difficult.

The move to jython.org has solved this problem. We can do further updates = there should be a direct link from http://jython.org to the Jython book, ideally under

- Documentation
-- Current Docs
-- Jython Book

rather than mixed in on the wiki page itself. However, the task of hardening these resources is itself done, so closing this bug on Josh's behalf.
