Force Encryption

I need to setup SQL encryption on a remote server running W2k3, SQL2k5 std.
The server doesn't have access to a CA. SQL connections are limited to my
server and IIS running on the same remote server.
Can I use a SelfSSL certificate created with the IIS 6.0 Toolkit when
configuring forcing encryption at the network level? If so, are there any
recommendations or pitfalls?
ThanksWhile I've never had to actually do this, yeah, it should be possible. Just
be careful that you setup the domain correctly in the cert and theoretically
you should be fine.
