Nope, you can peer w/ as many as you'd like to. However if you peer w/
more than one, you'll be adding to a problem called 'inconsistent-as',
(where your prefix(es) are sourced by multiple ASNs.)
While this will function, the proper way to advertise via multiple
providers is from a unique ARIN assigned ASN. (It's also possible that
an inconsistent-as _could_ break some as-path filters.)
I guess it's overall more ugly than broken?
