I understand that I get 5 EIP per region and if I need more I need to request service limit increase.

My question is how many can I get after service limit increase? Is it possible to get 50 EIP?

Please note that the DNS IP that AWS provides is not an option since that cannot be assigned to after instance is created and DNS IP cannot be attached to the second interface of my device (it can only be assigned to eth0 of a given EC2 instance)

All I need is a public IP that I can assign to eth1 or eth2 And I need to do that for about 50 EC2 instances.

Yes you can get more EIP on request. You can then attach/reattach them for your EC2 instances.
