Multiple Ajax forms and addClassRules

Multiple Ajax forms and addClassRules

I have a page with multiple ajax forms on it (each form is in its own
accordion panel) -- each form has its own set of validation rules.  On
one of the forms, I have some dynamically named fields that I was
going to use the addClassRules() method to apply rules to it.
However, every example I can find uses this syntax:
$.validator.addClassRules("
customer", { cRequired: true, cMinlength: 2
});.

If I understand that syntax correctly, that either only works if
there's one validator on the page, or it applies it globally (so,
every form will have that valedation rule).

For this form, I'm setting it up with the form validation this way:
               $("#editFormMeetInfo").validate
               (
                       {
                               ... snipped my validation code ...
                       }
               )

How would I use addClassRules() in this case?
