====== DICT Protocol Servers ======
A dynamically updatable [[http://luetzschena-stahmeln.de/dictd/index.php|list]] of DICT protocol servers is available.

The following servers may be used when implementing a DICT protocol client (e.g., for default servers):

    * dict.org, dict.us.dict.org, dict0.us.dict.org (primary server)
    * dict1.us.dict.org (backup server)
    * alt0.dict.org (secondary backup server, of last resort)
    * all.dict.org (DNS round-robin of dict?.us.dict.org)

For testing, but **never hardcoded** into a DICT client

    * test.dict.org

Also, do not hardcode names used for other services into dict clients -- they may not have DICT servers listening:

    * www.dict.org has a web server listening
    * ftp.dict.org has an ftp server listening
    * ftp.at0.dict.org has an ftp server listening
    * rsync.dict.org has an rsync server listening
