You don't say what distribution module you're talking of, and I guess I'm 
not the only one who'd need to know that detail.

However, with sufficient resolution and duration the naive approach sketched 
below might be good enough.

# untested
DURATION = 3600 # run for one hour
RATE = 90 # requests/sec
RESOLUTION = 1000 # one msec

requests = ([r1]*50 + [r2]*30 + [r3]*10)
time_slots = [0]*(RESOLUTION*DURATION)
times = range(RESOLUTION*DURATION)

for _ in range(DURATION*RATE):
   time_slots[random.choice(times)] += 1

for time, count in enumerate(time_slots):
    for _ in range(count):
        issue_request_at(random.choice(requests), time)
