- dedicating one NIC for iSCSI.
Having different network shares on each NIC would be pretty hard I think.

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 ?

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.
