I agree with Bill completely. Even though I've personally heard from an exam administrator that "any overconfiguration (unnecessary commands) will not hurt you as long as the requirements are met", picture this... when I began a long time ago toward my CCIE studies, I thought to summarize OSPF networks between areas on an ABR, you needed to use both the "area range" command _and_ the "summary-address" command. Obviously you only need the "area range" command. Had I not known this and configured both on the lab exam, technically putting both commands would still satisfy the requirements (most likely) and the "summary-address" command could be considered "overconfiguration".
However, I tend to believe the grading of the exam is somewhat subjective in nature (as it probably should be). So I believe that this configuration, similar in nature to putting "ip ospf demand-circuit" on both sides of the link, will end up hurting you in your lab attempt.
Good luck,
Ken

Sure you can place the "ip ospf demand-circuit" on both sides, and it will
work. However, you many very well lose points for doing this. The command
is only needed on one side of the link, and it doesn't matter which side.
As long as one side is configured the Demand Circuit will be negotiated at
the time the neighbor is formed.
Placing the command on both sides of the link "does not show an expert level
of knowledge." :)

Importance: Low
Can you have the "ip ospf demand-circuit" in both sides of a BRI link?
Books that I have read say that you are only supposed to have this command
in one side of the link and I was told the same thing in the ccbootcamp I
attended.
I found this document in Cisco site (Document 4808):
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/tk480/technologies_tech_note09186a0080
09481b.shtml
This document claims that you can use the "ip ospf demand-circuit" in both
sides. Does this cause problems?
Also, is it good practice to include the "no peer neighbor-route" command in
the BRI interfaces to keep redistribution from bring up the bri links.
Thanks,
