_and_ editing /etc/hosts to have "fedora.local" as the

I installed a Centos7 system and during the install process called it fedora.local. By
default this was placed in etc/hostname.
I did not add anything in the hosts file. I did make an entry for the host cos7 in the
DNS to make it easier to contact. I also did not
make a reverse entry.
While yours is:

Mine is
[root@fedora ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

With both of those in place, "dnsdomainname" and "nfsidmap -d" both return "local", and the mapping works.
Same here. No issues.
My problem is _not_ with the CentOS 7 server. That works just fine with an /etc/hosts file
like yours.
It is the Fedora 35 client that needs the /etc/hosts modification to accept a domain
name.
Now, why on Earth did I want to run Fedora anyway? Oh that's right, there was an application I wanted to try that was only available as a flatpak on CentOS 8, and flatpaks have their own level of pain. That's all water over the dam now.

Happy all is well. Wondering why on earth you've not upgraded your systems to
Centos8 :-) :-)
When I upgrade that server, it is _not_ going to be CentOS, probably Rocky Linux or
AlmaLinux.
I have no idea what I'm going to use as my "daily driver" OS, perhaps
something outside of the Red Hat family.
