You could assign a unique formId to each of the forms, and whenever the form is submitted, you could submit the formId alongwith the other info from the form in order to identify which form is being submitted?

For example, in the html code of your form, you could do something like this:

Form # 1: (with form id as 1)

Name:  

Address:  
 

Form # 2: (with form id as 2)

Name:  

Address:  
 

In the javascript, something like this:

function validate(formId)
{
   var data = {};
   //Example data that is to be submitted for validation:
   data.name = $("#name_" + formId).val();
   data.address = $("#address_" + formId).val();
   //.. and so on
   data.formId = formId;

   $.post('http://example.com/confirm.php', data, function(result)
     {
       //process the return of the remote validation here, 
       //found in the variable: result
     }
   );
}
