Thank you for your detailed response and I should have noted that I was using the Main Public Galaxy. Thank you for confirming that it is down!
I appreciate your input!

Hi Scott, Galaxy is back for me now, and yes, the Galaxy tool you are talking about is called Megablast (version 1.2.0), and only offers these target databases: htgs 13-Apr-2014 nt 17-Apr-2014 wgs 20-Apr-2014 phiX174 This Galaxy tool does *not* connect to the NCBI BLAST service over the internet. It sounds like the problem was due to the Galaxy team updating these databases - as Jennifer mentioned? I don't understand how you got an NCBI web server error message (in your email to Wayne), but perhaps you were separately testing the NCBI BLAST service outside of Galaxy? Regards, Peter
