See the documentation on the InterLeave Controller, which describes
the function of the check box "Ignore sub-controller blocks".

Unchecked, you will get the former behaviour. 
Checked, you will get a _single_ sampler picked at random from all the
samplers for each iteration.

If you want to try it out without hitting a web-site, try it with
JavaTest samplers with different labels.

By the way, there is a minor bug in the randomisation - the first
time, the first item is always selected. Thereafter, it is random.
