iptables/ip6tables would be the way to go to restrict access. It's not
clear exactly what your setup is. Will the NIC2 get its own public IPv4
address that's separate from your main router?

Is your main goal here to make OwnCloud inaccessible from the LAN (as in
put it into a real DMZ), or just to make it easier to access OwnCloud
without doing port forwarding?

DynDNS will not help with firewalling, only with making access from the
WAN easier, if your public IPv4 address changes.
