How to add a navigation controller to a subview of a parent view

Question

I have a design where I have a main view controller, with three subviews contained within. How can I add a UINavigationController to one of the subviews to manage the view stack for that subview only?

Since iOS 5 you can create custom container view controllers. I recommend creating a container that holds your 3 views (each of them being view controller objects). And since UINavigationController is a UIViewController subclass, you should be able to add it to your container.
