Things to consider:

(1) Make sure the Alias rule is in the correct place in httpd.conf,  
taking into account virtual hosts etc... you can verify the alias  
works by going directly to the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync address in  
the browser. You should get an error message about accessing the  
activesync url directly in a browser.

(2) Make sure Apache was reloaded/restarted after making the change.

(3) Is the iPhone using wifi or it's 3G connection? You are using the  
server IP, if this is a private IP, it will only work if using WiFi.

If none of the above tips help, check the horde logs for errors. If  
nothing interesting in the horde log then we will need you to enable  
activesync logging (see the wiki page), obtain the log along with a  
wireshark trace of the network conversation between device and server  
and post back to us.
