Preferably server-side (Linux) or client-side (Windows) tools rather than web-based tools. Although, come to think of it, web tools would be interesting too.
And there must be an easy mechanism of adding domain-specific terminology.

I'll asume that you have the text to check in a database, if that is the case, then you could use: DBSpeller.
DBSpeller can spell check selected tables from a given database into eventually another database. It's open source, and works with MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle.
Good Luck!

It's in a DB but not one that is accessible other than via port 80!

The most browser have a build spell checker or spell checking is available as plugin. That there is no need more to add this to a web site. The build spell checker work better as the javascript based spell checker.
If you want it else do then you can look at www.spellchecker.net or at www.thesolutioncafe.com.

I'm looking for a method to check the spelling of all text on a website, not just strings entered by users into forms.

I see no sense in it. Why should the surfer see spell errors in a website that he can not change. For the website writer the spell checker should be in the editor. I does not know such tool.

I'm the website writer. The pages are in a content management system and the content not easily accessible other than via the web. The content management system doesn't have any system-wide spelling tool.

OK, this is a completely other question. It look that I have not understand you. How do you add/edit the content to your content management system. If it occur with a text field of a browser then use the spell checker of your browser. You can correct the spelling error in one step.

Alas, I'm not the sole creator of content so am unable to force other users to check spellings.

The Insite product from Inspyder Software runs on Windows (client side) and checks for spelling errors and broken links on a remote site.
It's a commercial product that is less that $100, but there is a free trial that will check one web site.

To solve this I downloaded the entire web site using the excellent WinHTTrack. This produces an file (index.txt) containing all the keywords for the downloaded site. I then used TextPad to view and spell check this file to find the worst spelling errors. I then searched for each error (again in TextPad). If anyone knows of a less labour-intensive method I'd very grateful to hear it.
