No, you don't need two instances of mysql, only two instances of ser.

Make two config files for ser, for example: ser.cfg for the main proxy ser-vm.cfg for the voicemail proxy. (dont forget to change the listening port as 5060 is already used by the main proxy)

start the main proxy as usual - manually or unsing the startup-script /etc/init.d/ser

start the voicemail proxy using the second cfg file, e.g. ser -f /usr/local/etc/ser/ser-vm.cfg

or copy the init.d/ser script to init.d/ser-vm and make the changes in the startup script.
