OK, I'll bite.  I have an SSH server running on virtualized.org.

Please set up a fake SSH server at that domain name.  

Note that I'm not even using DNSSEC on that zone right now (sigh, some day I'll get around to fixing my signing infrastructure), so half the battle is already over...

More seriously, the reality is that folks realized some time ago that the Internet security infrastructure needs to be improved and there are various efforts underway to implement those improvements.  SSL-all-the-time, SMTPS, IMAPS, DNSSEC, RPKI, etc., are all examples and they actually do work at the edge, no leprechauns required.
