No, it's frowned upon to connect to multiple internet servers at once. You'd switch the one you have defined over to one of the Firenet addresses instead. Firenet and the APRS-IS servers are connected, so you should just pick up MORE stuff with Firenet but not lose anything by connecting there instead of APRS-IS.
Some stuff is only on Firenet. Like quakes down to magnitude 0.1, more of the NWS weather alerts, stuff like that.
