You're right. I was using "ks" instead of 
"ks=nfs:nfs.domain.tld:/kickstart" because, by default, kickstart can 
take the same host than dhcp service if next-server isn't provided.
I guess it's trying to use IP address instead FQDN...
But if I defined an "next-server" for this group of host, this directive 
  bypass class "pxeclient" and I can't boot by PXE anymore...
How can I defined both this class and this group in dhcpd ?

Thanks,
