Also, try removing the host declaration from the subnet and putting 
it in the global scope where it belongs. In this case it shouldn't 
make any difference, but when multiple subnets are involved then it 
can cause some weird (and hard to diagnose) inheritance problems if 
you put host statements anywhere but in the global scope. Being in a 
group at the global level is OK.

Ie, try this :

subnet 10.11.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   <options>
   range dynamic-bootp  10.11.1.95 10.11.1.96;
}

group {
   next-server 10.11.1.91;
   filename "pxelinux.0";

   host ops1tt {
     hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:05:6a:82;
     fixed-address  10.11.1.94;
   }
}
