Which FAI and dracut version are you using?
I have this in my nfsroot.conf:
   NFSROOT=/srv/fai/nfsroot

I'm sure, I never had a host name in this line.
IIRC NFSROOT should not be used for specifying the nfsroot kernel
command line parameter. man dracut.cmdline says: ".. root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=  is deprecated". Now you should use root=.

I have root=123.45.67.8:/srv/fai/nfsroot in my pxelinux.cfg files.

Yes, there was a change in FAI 4.1.
