Dual x-axis on same line with Highcharts. Possible?

Question

Can we create multiple x-axis chart like this using Highcharts? If yes, can someone please provide some pointers?

There are three year data displayed. i.e. 2010,2011, 2012

The older answers didn't run for me in JSFiddle. Here is a working example, if it helps anyone:

http://jsfiddle.net/kPqKW/

$(function () {
    $('#container').highcharts({

        chart: {
            renderTo: 'container'
        },
        xAxis: [{
            type: 'datetime'
        }, {
            type: 'datetime',
            opposite: true
        }],

        series: [{
            data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4],
            pointStart: Date.UTC(2010, 0, 1),
            pointInterval: 24 * 3600 * 1000 // one day
        }, {
            data: [176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4, 29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0],
            pointStart: Date.UTC(2010, 0, 10),
            pointInterval: 24 * 3600 * 1000, // one day
            xAxis: 1
        }]

    });
});

Using highstocks (highcharts lesser known sibling), you can do something like what you're looking for. Check out this fiddle

$(function() {
$.getJSON('http://www.highcharts.com/samples/data/jsonp.php?filename=aapl-ohlcv.json&callback=?', function(data) {

    // split the data set into ohlc and volume
    var ohlc = [],
        volume = [],
        dataLength = data.length;

    for (i = 0; i < dataLength; i++) {
        ohlc.push([
            data[i][0], // the date
            data[i][1], // open
            data[i][2], // high
            data[i][3], // low
            data[i][4] // close
        ]);

        volume.push([
            data[i][0], // the date
            data[i][5] // the volume
        ])
    }

    // set the allowed units for data grouping
    var groupingUnits = [[
        'week',                         // unit name
        [1]                             // allowed multiples
    ], [
        'month',
        [1, 2, 3, 4, 6]
    ]];

    // create the chart
    $('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {

        rangeSelector: {
            selected: 1
        },

        title: {
            text: 'AAPL Historical'
        },

        yAxis: [{
            title: {
                text: 'OHLC'
            },
            height: 200,
            lineWidth: 2
        }, {
            title: {
                text: 'Volume'
            },
            top: 300,
            height: 100,
            offset: 0,
            lineWidth: 2
        }],

        series: [{
            type: 'area',
            name: 'AAPL',
            data: ohlc,
            dataGrouping: {
                units: groupingUnits
            }
        }, {
            type: 'area',
            name: 'Volume',
            data: volume,
            yAxis: 1,
            dataGrouping: {
                units: groupingUnits
            }
        }]
    });
});

});
