As far as I've ever found, without multicast it wont work. Those apps just aren't made for the enterprise. Our campus WLANs don't have multicast and so most of the iPhone "find it" style apps don't work here. We did notice that the test SSID that has IPv6 enabled does allow the multicast based apps to work, even though IPv4 multicast isn't on. Depending on your situation, that might be something you can work with, since the iDevices all speak v6, and v6 has to use some multicast.
