No. The Alias directive maps URLs to filesystem paths, not to other  
URLs. The way you have it configured, the ActiveSync endpoint is  
redirected to a file named rpc.php in your filesystem's root directory.

No. This is what the client was written to work with, we can't tell  
the client to speak a different protocol.

Again, this sounds like a client issue. The client probably doesn't  
recognize the CA.
