Yup - what Matt said is the way we do it too.  You can expire the filter after 
a time duration which is nice, removes the filter after x days.

I've also passed tcpdump args such as "port 5060 AND host x.x.x.x" ( something 
like that ) as the capture filter in the voipmonitor.conf file.  

You can use these args to drop RTP or chatty hosts you may not need to see.  
Very flexible.
