how do I validate *only if value is present*

[Luke]

I have a model called Orders that I need to validate. In this model,
there is a fax number that is not required, but if submitted must be
in the format of a phone number. I cannot seem to figure out how to do
something like this in cake. It seems to me that it should be
something as easy as

var $validate = array(
  'shipping_fax' = array('required' = false, 'rule' =
'validatePhone')
)

am I going about it wrong?
