You should not need a separate machine to run DansGuardian (and e.g. 
tinyproxy). They'll run on the "main" machine and you would simply need 
to point your browser to the "localhost" proxy.

Of course there is nothing to stop your daughter reconfiguring the 
browser to bypass DansGuardian, but I'm assuming this isn't likely 
(yet!).  To fix that you _would_ need a separate proxy machine.
