Yes
When you ask for an web site the answer is sent to MAC address
00:02:ipA:ipB:ipC:ipD where ipA:ipB:ipC:ipD is your IP address.
So if your ask for something from the SAME IP ADDRESS you'll receive the
answer to the same MAC Address, so it is not necessary to hack the Dvb
filter.

You should have IP1 and IP2 (static on internet)
So MAC addresses are 00:02:(IP1) and 00:02:(IP2).
You have to search the NET address common in IP1 and IP2 and set it to
filter DVB.
Near the end of dvbd.c file you find "filter_0" string.
After you'll have an assignment like this:
dvbcfg[0].data[1] = (ip[0] << 8) | (0x00FF) ; or something similar.
You have to change 0x00FF to 0x0000: the FF rappresents the bitfilter mask
(with FF is only accepted ip[0] while if you set 0x0000 is accepted all 256
value for ip[0].
Unfortunately you couldn't set all 4 IP to mask 0x0000 (I don't know why)
but only some of them.
For example ip[0], ip[1], ip[2] and 0x00F0 for ip[3].
Tell me if you have trouble trying all that.
Happy New Year
