If you are talking about client-side validation you can use JavaScript to make different buttons post to different locations (these locations can be different to validate it in more than one way on the server side) eg

<form name="someForm1" id="someForm1" method="POST">
.
.
.


<input type="button" name="button1" id="button1" onclick="javascript:post1();"/>
<input type="button" name="button2" id="button2" onclick="javascript:post2();"/>
</form>

Then make post1 implement one type of client-side validation ( validate1() ) and post2 ( validate2() ) the other approach. You can even use JavaScript to post to different URLs. An example of how this can be done is:

function post1()
{
  var form1=document.forms['someForm1'];
  form1.action="form1.aspx";
  if(validate1())
  {
     form1.submit();
  }
  else
  {
     invalid1();
  }    
}
