CORRECT WAY OF SETTING INTERFACES FILE FOR BONDING:

1) This model has race conditions.
2) YOU HAVE to have both scripts running (networking and network-interfaces)

# /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
    bond-master bond0

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
    bond-master bond0

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
    bond-mode 1
    bond-miimon 100
    bond-primary eth1
    bond-slaves eth1 eth2
    address 192.168.169.1
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    broadcast 192.168.169.255

You can expect this to fail from time to time but it works... working on a fix for this.
