You were absolutely right Mike. I just had to change the "DEVICE=eth0:1"
to just "DEVICE=eth0".... and now it works... The Gnome 'Network' GUI
must have put that there for some stupid reason.... I'm not going to use
it anymore.... but it work great now. When the machine boots up it
actually processes the ifcfg-eth0-range0 file and by the time the httpd
service starts during bootup the necessary ip addresses are available
for the apache server to bind to. This is great...

The lesson I 've learned here is that I need to stop thinking that GUI
tools provided in Redhat/Fedora to configure these configuration files
is the best route, and get used to just editing my configuration files
manually to ensure the configurations are following the proper format.
