In the "old days", with the uni-core FAH client, you could restart FAH, 5 or 6 times in a row, and eventually the client would try to connect you with a back-up server, instead of the main server you'd normally get.
Don't know if that's true anymore, or even if it ever was true with the SMP client. Looking at my logs, I do see where it took 13 tries to get that connection properly made, so I could both return and be given, a WU.
Worth a try, but obviously can't do it with a borg out of reach. Also, a bit of a frustrating pain - you shouldn't find yourself in this fix.
Good news, from Vijay in the Stanford Forum:

One of our servers (vspg1) is down (taking its virtual interfaces with it as well, i.e. vspg1v and vspg1v2). It's been reset remotely and will likely be up in the morning (it is fsck-ing).
