Customising Register.aspx

Hey everyone. I've been looking for ways to customise the registration form.

One of my requirements is that on registration I have to capture how the user heard about this site. I have to present them with a number of options and this needs to be a required field. I've tried implementing this through editing mojoProfile.config. Te field renders fine, but it isn't making it required. Here is my markup:

<add name="HearAboutUs"
    type="System.Integer"
    allowMarkup="false"
    resourceFile="ProfileResourceCRC"
    labelResourceKey="HearAboutUs"
    lazyLoad="false"
    requiredForRegistration="true"
    showOnRegistration="true"
    allowAnonymous="false"
    visibleToAnonymous="false"
    visibleToAuthenticated="true"
    visibleToUser="true"
    editableByUser="true"
    regexValidationExpression=""
    regexValidationErrorResourceKey=""
    onlyAvailableForRoles=""
    onlyVisibleForRoles=""
    defaultValue=""
    >
    <OptionList>
        <Option value="" TextResourceKey="HAUUnselectedLabel"></Option>
        <Option value="1" TextResourceKey="HAULabel1"></Option>
        <Option value="2" TextResourceKey="HAULabel2"></Option>
        <Option value="3" TextResourceKey="HAULabel3"></Option>
        <Option value="4" TextResourceKey="HAULabel4"></Option>
        <Option value="5" TextResourceKey="HAULabel5"></Option>
        <Option value="6" TextResourceKey="HAULabel6"></Option>
    </OptionList>
</add>

Is it possible to make an OptionList a required field?

Finally, how would you suggest I go about adding my own custom validation to this form? There are two things I need to validate:

1. If they select "other" from the OptionList above, I need to require the user to enter how they found out about this site through a textbox.

2. I have two other custom fields called PostCode and AddressLine1. I am developing this website/webapp for a city council. In my database I already have a table of possible postcodes and addresses. Before allowing somebody to register, I need to ensure that their address is valid and appears in my database. 

Is there some sort of custom validator that I could leverage? If not how would you suggest I go about this? Will I need to rewrite this form from scratch?
