force protocal encryption

Hi,
I could like to understand the SSL "force protocal encryption" on SQL 2000,
if I do this:
1: how much extra resource it will take to do encryption?
2: What certificate should we use, must we use certicate from public certifi
cation authority?
3: how will the client side affected after I turn on force protocal encrypti
on? should it be transparent to them if we install public certificate on the
server?
4: Can client still connect to server using IP address, or must FQDN is requ
ired?
Thanks
FrankI follow the MS link below and trying to Request New Certificate for SSL usi
ng MMC, however, I cannot see "Request New Certificate" from the MMC (under
How to Configure the MMC Snap-in-->2-->b)
Is there other way to request a verisign certificate except from certificate
server?
Thanks
Frank
