Greg, This is a bit of an educated guess here, but I had a similar problem last week and I ended up having to force a host header value into the IIS binding for the https side of things. The article on how to do that is: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753195%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
The Stack Overflow question that pointed me in the right direction was: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3750945/wrong-url-in-wsdl-hyperlink-when-using-wcf-https. The symptom that confirmed it was that if I views the WSDL generated by the WCF service it displayed the internal host name, not the FQDN of the site I needed to browse to.
