unfortunately not. I recommend the SER/openser merging project to you as
there is strong effort to consolidate these differences. That's different
mailing lists though.

You really need media server. Either SEMS or Asterisk are obvious choices,
but that's best served at other mailing lists too.

you need SEMS for this.

You can have one parameter for all of them. Something like this:
modparam("speeddial|auth_db|usrloc|acc_db|domain|uri_db|gflags|avp_db|db_ops|flexroute", 
"db_url", "mysql://ser:heslo@localhost/ser")

see SER's OOB config file.
