Yes. You can also specify a list (trace) of request URLs and/or
response content to use.

Repetition (a.k.a., recurrence) of URLs is controlled by the
recurrence and embed_recur parameters in the Robot PGL configuration.
By default, all URLs are unique, even across different tests.
PolyMix-4 uses recurrence that corresponds to approximately 55% hit
ratio within a single test.

There are other parameters that affect URL selection. For example, see
working_set_cap() PGL call description at
http://www.web-polygraph.org/docs/reference/pgl/calls.html
