1. Use a custom validator (you will need to make a DB call within your
validator to look for the existence of another record with the field
value in question)
2. Add a SlugField to your model, define it to be unique, and
prepopulate it from the field that's supposed to be case-insensitively
unique. Then, you will get the right validation errors in the admin
(but they will be shown against the slug field.)
