Enabling services for distinct ethernet interfaces
Hi,
I want to separate access to the NAS inside my local network.
My idea was to setup 2 different networks, either with 2 routers or using VLAN
One network will have access to smb/ftp/ssh on specific shares and the other network will only have access to DLNA and smb on one share.
Is it possible to make use of the 2 LAN adapters on the NAS to enable services on only one of the 2 interfaces ? Also, is it specifically possible to force DLNA broadcast on only one of the two LAN interfaces instead of teh two interfaces ?
Otherwise, any advise on how to achieve the setup I want ?

It has been asked for, but so far Netgear hasn't done it. It should be in the idea exchange somewhere.
There are a couple of related use cases -
- only allowing one NIC to access the NAS admin UI
- dedicating one NIC for iSCSI.
Having different network shares on each NIC would be pretty hard I think.

LoL, thanks, short and clear at least
Would have been a great feature to make use of the dual NIC to separate traffic and services. However, it would probably be a complex setup, simpler to achieve by using 2 separate NAS devices I guess. The space and power use is doubled though.
