This tried to use it as normal rootfs, try livenet dracut module,
which handles remote livecd iso:
git.kernel.org/?p=boot/dracut/dracut.git;a=blob;f=modules.d/90livenet/livenetroot

Sorry, but do you know how I could use it from boot args?

Also, I found rd.live.dir options. Could be used for this to mount nfs and then setup the live image?
I try to use:
initrd=initrd0.img root=nfs:192.168.1.50:/home/frafra/iso:nfsvers=3 rootfstype=auto rd.live.dir=/LiveOS ro rd.live.image=1 rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 rdshell

...but it doesn't work. I tried to remove /dev/root manually and launch dmsquash-live-root, and it seems to setup the image correctly, but I don't know how to start the system and if this method could be automatized.

Thanks,
