Bruce's original suggestion worked for us perfectly. Overriding the DNS on the WIFI setting to point to an external DNS server solves it. Thanks! Just stumbled across this discussion.

On the Windows server:

Start > Program Files > Administrative Tools > DNS
Right click on Forward Lookup Zones and choose New Zone
Click Next, leave Primary Zone selected and click Next
Leave “To all domain controllers…..” and click Next
In “Zone Name”, type your mail server (ie: mail.domainname.com) and click Next
Leave “Allow only secure…..” and click Next
Click Finish

In the Forward Lookup Zones pane on the right, double click the new zone and then right click in the empty area and choose New Host (A)
Leave the name blank and enter the IP address of your internal mail server (ie: 192.168.1.xxx) and select create PTR record, then Add Host

Click Start > Run, type CMD and in then type ipconfig /flushdns

That should be it…

I'm using the gen 1 iPhone but have the new softward. Is push for exchange only supported while on wifi or does it work via Edge as well? I have yet to see it actually push anything, it doesn't update until I actually open mail or contacts or calendar etc. My exchange activesync is not pushing.

True, on the internal LAN you're going to take a trip outside to get to the internal server, but it should always work.
