Found the line that was missing...but it wasn't documented in the
 >> http://www.linux-corner.info/bonding.html   HOWTO...


DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=192.168.0.254
NETWORK=192.168.0.0     <----THAT line was missing...
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
USERCTL=no
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes


But now I have this in my 'ps aux' output...not sure of it's 
significance..cuz clients boot all jazzy and stuff ;)

root     15933  0.0  0.0     0    0 ?        Z    15:20   0:00 [ip] 
<defunct>

and changing the DHCPDARGS in /etc/init.d/dhcpd  to "bond0" was required.
