Ok, thanks. I know that there have been some improvements with the AnyConnect client including roaming (which re-establishes connections) as well as on-demand options. These might help. 

I'll post follow ups once I know more.

I can say for sure the feature is coming but cannot commit to when it will be out.  If AnyConnect on the iPhone won't fly for you and you need secure connect then you need to let the PM team for the iPhone mobility clients know (either directly or via your account team).  They may be able to give you an ETA as well.
