Uneven Distribution of Usage

I am testing some WSAPIs (12 of them) and the production usage logs
shows 
that 1 of them has over 95% of the requests over some time period. Is
this model typical? 
How does one effectively test the distribution of the requests?
 
My initial thought was to put it into a class all by itself.  Take it as
a abnormally.  That isn't what it is. 
It is a "ReadOnly" API that retrieves info and returns it to the user.
It is pretty typical behavior. 
So how should distribute the number of requests in my perf test plan?

No idea.

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Thr
oughput_Controller
can be used to favour certain samples over others.

or
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Swi
tch_Controller
can be used with a suitable function to select certain children more
often than others.

No idea what the above means.

See above.

Or you may be able to use a file containing the URLs to be processed and
make sure that the file contains the appropriate mix.
