Using a simple memcache config:

$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/contrib/memcache/memcache.inc';
$conf['cache_default_class'] = 'MemCacheDrupal';
$conf['memcache_key_prefix'] = 'mysite';

It seems to have been working fine, all "cache_*" tables in the db now remain empty -- except for "cache_field" table and its Domain access derivatives (cache_field_domain_2, cache_field_domain_3, ...)

Any idea why that happens?

It's true that there's data left in the cache_forms table but this doesn't mean that memcache is not working.

If you add more fields/content and monitor the out-put of SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cache_field; through-out you'll see that this table does not get any bigger. Additionally you can see the output memcache admin confirm that cache_form is getting hits.

If you really want to you can TRUNCATE cache_field;.

I think we should close this issue as (works as designed) if you don't have a strong suspicion I'm wrong.
